From memory that was the scrap pile belonging to a firm that were rebuilding early/damaged Defenders for recommissioning on behalf of the MOD. A family member used to be involved with them, they were called Ricardo or something similar. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

They look like Turkish military Otokar Land Rovers. The angular rear bodies on some and the use of plastic headlight surrounds on others matches their spec.

I've seen this in one of the magazines a couple of years back and Ricardo rings a bell.

Was it to do with the WMIK upgrades? 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

JLR post Covid19 sales plan.

Gerry to secretly find and scrap as many Defender Classics as possible to force people to buy the new model

I would rather have one of those scrappers and have it fixed up somehow instead of a new Defender Smile

I have to agree with you and it would certainly be worth more in three years time.

I suspect most of those scrapers would run and drive of one fashion or another. Would the replacement even start in that state? 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
